I am a CAPPA certified postpartum doula offering overnight support in Central Massachusetts. Please take a look at my website for more details about me and what I do :)

As an indigenous person working as a lactation counselor, childbirth educator, birth doula and postpartum doula I offer unique opportunities to integrate traditional practices with contemporary support. In this experience, the doula role extends beyond the physical recovery and infant care; it requires cultural humility , respect for ancestral knowledge and recognition of the community’s values. This experience highlights that postpartum care is not one-size-fits-all model. The doula’s presence becomes a bridge between worlds-supporting modern postpartum practices while safeguarding cultural continuity. In conclusion, working with an indigenous doula ;has given me the responsibility to practice the cultural humility of my heritage, honor my traditional knowledge and provide holistic care. Such experiences that demonstrate support is most effective when it respects identity, empowers families and nurtures both body and spirit!

My doula style is empathetic, observant, and empowering—I'm dedicated to truly seeing mothers and validating their experiences, especially those who feel overlooked or dismissed.

Whether you're navigating healing from birth, adjusting to feeding challenges, dealing with sleep deprivation, or working through the emotional shifts that come with new motherhood, I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way. Drawing from my Indian heritage, I bring time-honored nourishing practices and cultural wisdom that nurture both body and mind to complement modern postpartum care. As a mother myself to an incredible daughter who inspires me daily, I understand firsthand the beautiful complexity of early motherhood—the overwhelming love mixed with unexpected challenges, the need for both practical support and emotional validation. My personal journey through postpartum, combined with my professional training, allows me to offer you both the expertise of a certified doula and the understanding of someone who's walked this path.

Hi, I’m Danielle! I’m a postpartum doula, lactation educator, and Master Health Coach with a Bachelor’s in Health Education and a passion for holistic, practical, and proactive health for families after birth. With over a decade in healthcare, I support families through major life transitions, helping moms recover, bond with their baby, and feel confident in their new role. I take a whole-family approach, supporting physical recovery, infant feeding, emotional wellbeing, and daily life at home. I’m especially passionate about replenishing mothers, because a nourished, rested mom builds the strongest foundation for her family. I’m just another mom who has been through it and wants better for others. My postpartum journey included an avoidable postpartum hospitalization, a humbling experience that taught me so much about healing, resilience, and support. I enjoy helping families feel empowered, supported, and present with their baby so they can savor these early months with confidence.

My background was initially rooted in preschool education. However, in 2016, it blossomed into a career as a devoted nanny. Since then, I've expanded my expertise to further assist parents In different areas such as newborn care, pediatric sleep and lactation.

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m am Certified Birth Educator, Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, Certified Breastfeeding Counselor, End of Life Doula, Certified in Safe Sleep, and founder of Branches of Birth. Birth is new and important every single time- I believe this with every fiber of my being. Everyone deserves a safe, well-informed birth experience where they are made to feel valued and supported and my goal is to give you the tools, confidence, and all encompassing support to achieve your best birth. I believe in this process and in birthing without fear – it’s not as out of reach as it sounds! I came to this work with a passion for advocacy and empowerment and client-centered care. Empathy is truly the cornerstone of my practice and I approach each birth conscious of the fact that every birth is as unique as the families experiencing it.

Myriam Lukoff, a native French speaker originally from Montreal is a compassionate doula and trained in Spinning Babies now living in Shrewsbury. With a degree in physiology from McGill University and over two decades experience in early childhood education, she integrates her knowledge and passion working with families towards a profound dedication in accompanying mothers on their unique childbirth journey. Myriam strives to empower women discovering and embracing their innate strength during pregnancy, childbirth and beyond. She blends cultural sensitivity with unwavering support, ensuring every mother's voice is heard and honored. Her desire to become a doula was a result of how remarkably different and transformative each of her personal childbirth experiences were. Her volunteer work with organizations such as JFCS’s ‘Journey to Safety’ has deepened her commitment towards women feeling empowered, including those affected by domestic violence, highlighting her commitment to the safety and wellbeing of mothers and their children. Beyond her doula role, Myriam is a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She loves reading novels, playing the piano and spending time with her family.

My journey into birth work began at the intersection of science and intuition. With a degree in biology, I have a deep reverence for the physiological miracle of birth, but as a certified doula, I know that a healthy birth requires more than just clinical understanding it requires emotional safety, advocacy, and a grounded presence. I bridge the gap between evidence-based knowledge and the sacred, natural process of bringing life into the world. I am here to help you navigate your options with clarity and confidence, ensuring you feel empowered every step of the way.

Birth is not something I view as a medical event to be managed — it’s a profound, transformative rite of passage. I believe women are far stronger than our culture gives them credit for, and my role as a doula is not to “save” or direct you, but to protect your space, guard your autonomy, and remind you of your own power when things feel intense. I had a home birth myself, and that experience deeply shaped how I see birth: as something instinctive, sacred, and worthy of respect — whether it unfolds at home, in a birth center, or in a hospital. I support families who want evidence-based information without fear-based pressure. I believe informed consent matters. I believe your intuition matters. And I believe the hands attending your birth should feel steady, calm, and safe. My approach is grounding, honest, and deeply supportive — I will meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and help you feel confident walking into your birth knowing you are prepared, supported, and never alone.

Hi, I'm Carrie-Lee! A Cape Cod based Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist, Lactation Educator, and Pediatric Sleep Consultant. Yes, all in one person. Most families piece together support from multiple providers. With me you get lactation help, newborn care education, sleep foundations, and postpartum recovery support all from someone who already knows your family. One person, fully invested in you. Supporting families has always felt like second nature to me, and after raising three incredible kids of my own, there isn't much that surprises me anymore. My oldest is up in Maine working on his off-grid yurt dream. My middle kid is a junior at Keene State fully immersed in theater tech. And my youngest spent her entire freshman year studying abroad at Berklee's campus in Spain and is now heading into her sophomore year in Boston as a vocalist doing exactly what she was born to do. Every single one of them came in with their own wild, wonderful personality and raising them is the best thing I've ever done. When I'm not up late with a newborn or navigating a 3am blowout, you'll find me camping, roller skating, gardening, canning, practicing archery, or slowly working my way toward conversational Spanish. I'm laid back, calm under pressure, realistic, and I genuinely love what I do. Let's chat and see if we're a good fit!

Hi, my name is Kimberly. I am the manager of Gentle Beginnings LLC. I started my birth doula career back in 2020. I was a new mom and realized I had a passion for doula care and I decided to jump into it! Unfortunately, the pandemic made it quite difficult to attend births in person but that didn't stop me. Over the years, I learned many new families didn't just need a support person through birth but also for all the phases that followed. Currently I'm working towards my pediatric sleep consultant certification. My business partner, Evelyn, has 30+ years of experience as a nanny and newborn care specialist, and has recently been certified as a postpartum doula as well. We both decided it was time to start a new company that offered all the services! We look forward to helping you through any part of your journey as a new family and hope you choose us as your providers!

Hi, I’m Heidi Terpening, CFSD, BPCE, founder of Azure Coast Doula. I am a maternal-child health clinician with over 27 years of nursing experience supporting individuals and families across the full continuum of care. My nursing career has taken me through NICU, labor and delivery, postpartum recovery, maternal-child health, pediatrics, community health, and school nursing. In these roles, I have supported families through routine and high-risk pregnancies, medically complex births, NICU admissions, postpartum recovery, and the many transitions that come with welcoming and caring for a new baby. These experiences have given me a deep respect for both the clinical and emotional sides of perinatal care, and a strong commitment to evidence-based practice, patient advocacy, and family-centered support. Over time, I came to understand that families often need more than medical care alone—they need continuity, reassurance, education, and someone who can help them feel grounded during moments of uncertainty. This understanding led me to full-spectrum doula work, where I now combine my clinical background with continuous emotional, physical, and educational support. Through Azure Coast Doula, I walk alongside families during pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, pregnancy loss, NICU stays, and medically complex situations. My role is to provide calm, consistent presence and clear, evidence-based information so families can feel informed, supported, and confident in their decisions. I strive to meet each family exactly where they are, honoring their unique needs, values, and experiences without judgment. In addition to doula support, I offer placenta encapsulation, newborn education, and hands-on newborn care guidance. These services are rooted in my nursing experience and are designed to ease the transition from hospital to home, helping parents feel more prepared and confident as they begin life with their new baby. The name Azure Coast Doula was inspired by the calm strength and resilience of the Adriatic coast of Croatia—a place that reflects the energy I hope to bring into every family’s experience. My work is grounded in clinical expertise, steady presence, and compassionate care, with the belief that every family deserves to feel supported, respected, and never alone in their journey. It is an honor to support families through some of life’s most meaningful and transformative moments.
